LETTER: No Concern For Workers

April 19, 2013

Columnist Cal Thomas writes in "Poisonous Views Follow Death Of Thatcher [April 18, Opinion] that "The British press has reported on families in which several generations have been on 'benefits' with no expectation of ever working, and no motivation for finding work."

He approves of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's attempts to "break that cycle." Yet I'm sure both he and Mrs. Thatcher, when she was alive, heartily endorsed the CEOs who moved many jobs overseas where they could pay workers much less than in either Great Britain or the United States, while scooping up huge bonuses for themselves for improving the bottom line for shareholders.

Where is the concern for those in either country who are now left jobless?
